About the Madgaon Express movie
Madgaon Express centres around three friends, Dodo (played by Divyendu), Pratik (played by Pratik Gandhi) and Aayush (played by Tiwary. Dodo takes them on a Goa trip they planned during their college days. The problem arises when Dodo does not consider comfort and plans the trip as in the 90s. After they reach Goa, their problems do not end as they accidentally get their hands on a bed full of cocaine. Two mafias from Goa, Mendoza bhai and Kanchan Kombdi have them on their targets and what follows is a hilarious mix up of enjoying a Goa trip and saving their butts from gangsters and their gang wars.
